Sukhbir Singh Badal Resigns as SAD President Amid Growing Controversies

Sukhbir Singh Badal has resigned as the president of the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD), two months after being declared tankhaiya (sinner) by the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC). His decision to step down marks a significant moment in the party history, as Badal had been at the helm of the organization for several years.

The controversy surrounding Badal leadership grew after the SGPC declaration, which stemmed from various political and religious issues within the party. The term tankhaiya is a serious accusation, often tied to actions seen as damaging to religious or moral principles, and its impact on Badal image within the party was undeniable.

Despite his long tenure as party leader, SAD has faced growing internal divisions and public dissatisfaction in recent years. The party struggles with shifting public opinion, leadership disputes, and controversies over its role in Sikh religious matters contributed to a loss of momentum, making Badal resignation a matter of inevitable conclusion.

In his resignation statement, Badal emphasized the importance of allowing fresh leadership to guide the party through its current challenges. He acknowledged that the time had come for a new direction, which would help the party regain its standing and work for its supporters interests.

As discussions begin within the party to select a new leader, the future of SAD remains uncertain. Party members will now look to rebuild and redefine their vision, while trying to restore confidence among their supporters and the Sikh community at large.
